"My God, everything is stuck with me for so long... time" -That's one of the reasons I don't envy those with good memories. God bless and protect Tim, he's a person and an artist who shares his long-lived memories so generously, regardless of whether they're joyful or painful.

I have no real interest in playing Boku no natsuyasumi but I am so happy I watched his review of it. I've listened to it almost every night for the past year and a half while I'm falling asleep. I can't really even explain what it means to me but I'm so happy to have discovered Tim Rogers and his writing

I've struggled to understand this for a long time. Are we reduced to being an animal made mindless by the stress of trying circumstances? Or are we already an animal living on autopilot for our desires, only to be woken up into full awareness by frightening or painful circumstances that ground us in the moment? I think it's the latter, our animals shattering into nothing, not shattering through the veil to become us. But I don't know. Does anyone else have any thoughts about what was meant by his friend's plane crash example?

I think he means the former. It's both a mercy and a cruelty of our nature. A mercy in that we don't feel death, we as we are won't have to suffer that exact moment, we grasp in desperation for what we need and what we love as a reflex and maybe we come out the other end alive and wake up to ourselves or maybe we die as that Shattered Animal. A cruelty in that we're gone. It's pieces of us but not us. Our memories, our attachments, our bodies, but not our conscious selves. I've only really experienced it once, that autopilot of Id to take care of yourself when faced with a moment so awful nothing will ever be the same. It takes so long to piece yourself back together, but pieces inevitably remain lost.

@zeroanonymity9736 I appreciate what you're saying. And I'm sorry you've had to live through an experience like that. I guess the only thing that still trips me up is the description of being "maybe bored that you don't have a plate of food in front of you". I've seen panicked dissociation and things adjacent to it, but even as a therapist I've never even heard a story of... I guess it'd be Reaction Formation in response to a presently ongoing trauma? Still, I mostly agree, it's just that thorn in my brain that keeps me wondering.

@@TheStrix Maybe... it's that lingering dissociation? You've shattered, you're out of the moment of stress that's made you a Shattered Animal, but you're still in that mindset. Going through motions, tolerating the situation that's making us hurt or uncomfortable because it's seemingly the only choice we have ("...sit uncomfortable in that uncomfortable chair."), and the only thing that's registering to us is that lack of sustenance that we don't need but want just to alleviate the ennui of it all ("...bored that you don't have a plate of food in front of you to eat..."). Reaction Formation doesn't feel right to me, because instead of taking an action that opposes our feelings it's like our existence simplifies. Do you remember what it's like being a small child? You think, you want, you express pain or pleasure, but there's no seemingly no guiding ego to it or else just the wisps and beginnings of one. If being a Shattering Animal is what I think it is, it's reverting back to that. I appreciate those kind words, and thankfully yeah I'm doing much better. Even if you lose pieces in the reforming, time and experience allows you to grow. You might be less or more malformed than you would be if the shattering never happened, but you're still so much more than you were before.

I wept when they showed the name on the grave. I completely lost control and cried harder than I had in a long time. Tim Rogers is one of the only reviewers I know that can make a review a piece of art in itself.

I heard rumors that the sizzler unit would become buster Dix neuf? Cool lore if true

Yeah but the Sizzler series could be crushed inside of a few minutes of being inside the Black Hole Bomb and if Jung had kept going the pressure would have crushed her and the Sizzler Black unit she was piloting like an egg or like explosive decompression like what happened to that guy in the movie The Abyss or that Snyder guy from the movie DeepStar Six.

Yeah, because Gunbuster was a prototype and thus over engineered.
